I have been with Sprint for almost 2 years and my phone is screwing up
recently as far as reception wise. I'm in the process of getting a new
phone. My question is that if I sign another 2 year contract and get a
new phone, do i get the rebate as all the new sprint customers get
such as activition and phone rebates? I am also elgible to get $150
off since I have been with them for 2 years.

So basically I'm wondering if i sign another contract, is it possible
for me to get the new activition rebate on top with the phone rebate
that everyone are elgible for AND the $150 rebate that i'm elgible to
get for being a sprint customer for 2 years?

Please help me out and respond if you know the answer for sure. Thanks
very much, Mark

Mark, the customers are only eligible for one rebate. If it's a new
customer, then they get the $150 off the phone immediately. If it's a
current customer, then it's going to be the $150 mail in rebate ... if they
qualify per all of the following requirements as listed on this site.

So to answer your question, the answer is no.

One of my colleagues at work who already had a Sprint phone called an
got the mail in rebate instantly. I got the number from him cause I'
going to see if I can do that too. I've dropped my phone more than an
person ever should. I've got the ghetto phone right now (taped an

:hit: all ). Anyway the number is 800-931-2609 if you're interested

I think you get the rebate but you then sign a new contract at the current
rates.
I asked that and although I'm eligible for the rebate of the $150, the
lowest rate available on a contract is more than I'm paying now. So, I
asked and the CSR agreed that it makes sense to keep the phone and go month
by month as long as everything is working.

What are the specifics of your plan right now, and how much is the base
price each month?

years and she got the rebate instantly. we didn't have to deal wit
mailing it in

the store clerk did mention that she has very good credit but i am no
sure if that has anything to do with it

models to show up in the stores
